Who is this trip for?
This trip is geared to suit anyone that wants to ride the famous hills of the tour as well as see the tour live, it is more aimed at the "riding" rather than the "viewing" though.
We cater for cyclists of all abilities by providing riding options each day, although we do suggest for your own enjoyment that you train in the hills before you leave home.
Each day we'll have options for rides to suit people who feel like a challenge, or an easy day enjoying the scenery. We ride on quiet scenic roads and where possible we ride on the race course ahead of the race.
As with all of our tours you'll have the support of a guide and a vehicle where needed.
**PLEASE NOTE: THIS IS NOT A 'WOMEN'S ONLY' TOUR - YOU WILL BE ROOM MATCHED WITH A MEMBER OF THE SAME GENDER IF POSSIBLE, OTHERWISE A SINGLE SUPPLEMENT MAY APPLY.
